Gianmarco Alberti

I am archaeologist, specialist in Sicilian Bronze Age issues.

I am author of a monographs (published in an International Series of Archaeological Books) and scientific articles and book reviews, these latter two on national and international Journals and Conferences' Proceedings.

On May 2008 I published my first authored book titled: "La ceramica eoliana della facies del Milazzese. Studio crono-tipologico e culturale sulla base dei dati editi da Filicudi, Lipari, Panarea, Salina. With English summary
(The Aeolian Milazzese facies’ ceramic assemblage: a chrono-typological and cultural study on the basis of the published evidences from Filicudi, Lipari, Panarea and Salina).
Published with British Archaeological Reports: BAR IS-1767 (2008)
ISBN 9781407302560

My Research Interests are the following:
-Prehistoric cultures of Middle Bronze Age Sicily and Aeolian Archipelago

-Chrono-typological seriation of the Sicilian Middle Bronze Age ceramic assemblages (Thapsos and Milazzese cultures).

-Intercultural links between Bronze Age Sicily and Aegean/Cypriot cultures.

-Chronological, Typological and Contextual facets of the Aegean and Cypriot imports to central Mediterranean.

-Social analysis of Sicilian Middle Bronze Age cultures on the grounds of funerary data.

-Relative and absolute chronology: cross-dating, C14, occurrence/frequency seriation.

-Multivariate approaches to the archaeological data, with attention to the devising of pottery type-series: Correspondence Analysis, Principal Component Analysis, Cluster Analysis.

-Reduction and interpretation of complex data-sets by means of multidimensional scaling techniques.

-Statistical approaches to the archaeological evidence.
